1.4 – Halloween Horror with Lisa Morton – If you think you’re a Halloween expert, you haven’t met Lisa Morton. In this special interview issue of Dark Arts Theater, the current president of the Horror Writers Association drops in to talk with me about the craft of horror, scary movies and more. And in his first guest appearance, author and podcaster David Wright (Yesterday’s Gone, Crash) joins the lovefest for Stanley Kubrick’s masterful adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining.

1.6 – Zombie! –Dark Arts Theater is proud to introduce, musician (Threefold Law) and narrator Angus Khan. Listen to Angus deliver an incredible reading of my zombie short story “Tunnel.” David Wright (Yesterday’s Gone, Crash) returns to discuss the eternal question: Slow zombies or fast zombies? We acknowledge our true feelings about Brad Pitt while debating the best method for ordering a pizza during a zombie apocalypse. Zach Bohannon (Empty Bodies, The Witness) joins the ride to talk about arguably one of the best heavy metal records of all time, Megadeth’s Rust in Peace. Crank it up as Karma to Burn (courtesy of FABA/Deepdive Records) fires up the riffs throughout the issue.

1.9 – Don’t Ever Let Them In – In this horror-filled issue of Dark Arts Theater, David Wright (Yesterday’s Gone, Crash) returns to talk about an incredible non-vampire, vampire movie, Let the Right One In. We banter on the film’s cheery themes of mutilation, vampirism, bullies and revenge on pedophiles. Dan Padavona (Storberry, Shadow Witch) and I take our conversation topic south to the Big Easy as we discuss Down’s first record, NOLA. Please, bury us both in smoke. Boris Karloff warns us to be careful of what we wish for in his classic radio recording of “The Fortune Teller,” and the sludgy and infectious musical accompaniment has been provided courtesy of UK doomers Gévaudan.

1.10 – Fighting the Undertow – In his final appearance in this volume of Dark Arts Theater, Dan Padavona (Storberry, Shadow Witch) returns to talk about an enigmatic, mysterious and powerful band, Tool. He tells his story of driving from upstate New York to the Jersey Shore to see the band during their meteoric rise in the mid-90s, and we both share our thoughts on the album that broke Tool, Undertow. David Wright (Yesterday’s Gone, Crash) and I indulge in more zombie talk as we remember the new classic 28 Days Later. Boris Karloff climbs out of his coffin to share the disturbing short story, “Nightmare,” and the spaced-out, heavy riffage has been provided courtesy of Dozer and Small Stone Records.
